Hey. Am really, actually me. Am propped up with heating pad in good computer chair (aka, not mine, which is a metal folding chair) and attempting to psych myself up for {egads} going back to work tomorrow. Pointedly ignoring muscle spasms in lower back, because, after all, what are muscle spasms in lower back for, if not to be pointedly ignored?

Thanks muchly for all the well-wishing, virtual chocolate (and offers of real) and nekkid clones - will attempt individual replies when I can actually sit down at the PC for longer than ten minutes straight. Ditto on lovely LOC from Tham -- will say thank you now, and more when brain is working. James, hang in there -- only, um.... lots more days to go. But I will write you distracting fic...er...soon.

Finally figured out who Dominic Monaghan reminded me of-- Dominic Monaghan! Er, I mean, Merry is the boyo who played Hetty Wainthropp's assistant in the Hetty Wainthropp Investigates series. Yee-haw! Now it'll stop niggling at me. (Though, if you Merry-fanciers want to see him looking young, scruffy, and sweetly clueless? Look no further.)

glad you are feeling a bit better. here's hoping work goes ok for you.

erm *how* did you get to see hetty wainthropp investigates? weird to thing the beeb exported it or something. i've been looking to re-watch the series, (for erm research purposes... or something) but no beeb video or dvd and despite the fact i know they watched it because i was living at home at the time, my step dad, (who videos *EVERYTHING*) didn't get them on tape. grrr. must find someone with enough channels to have ukgold or something. they are bound to be repeating them on digital somewhere... but now i'm just thinking aloud.

Yup, the Beeb exported it. Saw it on PBS, oh, a good two years ago. Dominic kept twicking my radarin his LOTR 20th Century press photos, and I couldn't for the life of me think of who he was, until I remembered Geoff from Hetty Wainthropp.
